    Hi Akira, I hope your doing well despite the problem you are experiencing now and I'm sorry for that. For that let me try to assist you.

    From the list of your Bluetooth devices, please remove the device of your Xbox controller.

    Then Plug In your Xbox Controller via USB.

    For the Bluetooth driver LE XINPUT compatible input device, Right click on it and select Uninstall.

    Then can I ask if in your Device Manager do you see Xbox Peripherals? If there is, you can expand it and select Xbox One Controller

    Right Click Controller -> Uninstall (or Update Driver)

    Then Unplug Controller

    Perform a Restart

    Then Plug In back the controller.

    After that, unplug the Xbox controller. Try to Add the device again in your Bluetooth devices.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if I didn't address your problem. Don't hesitate to ask for further assistance.

    Regards,

    Arnel

    Two things you will want to do to rectify this driver error is first, be certain that your system is entirely up to date. Run your Windows Update and also check the section Advanced Options > Optional Updates to see if there are any Bluetooth or other driver updates available. It is possible that the device is reporting it is up to date but that there is an update available... Make sure to restart your computer after installing updates as well!

    If you have no luck after performing the above, in Device Manager find Network Adapters > Your Bluetooth Adapter again, right click on it and click Disable device. Wait a few seconds and right click it again and choose Enable. This will reset it. Good luck and feel free to report if you need any further assistance!
